June 2014 Board Meeting

The Tazewell County Board met on June 25, 2014.

After several in-place committee meetings, and a helpful report from Finance Committee Chairman Tim Neuhauser on preliminary thoughts for our 2015 budget, the Board approved (among other things):

1) the designation and use of the former Pekin Times lot for juror parking (which should help with a growing problem of long walks and minimal parking for our jurors); 

2) a revised contract with the Hay Group, which will allow for a uniform, objective procedure for job reviews of all county employees; and

3) the appointment of Board Member Brett Grimm to the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission.

We also learned that the Board will hear from GovHR in the near future, the company hired to assist our search committee for a new County Administrator.

In addition to the latest Board happenings, please take note the Illinois State Board of Elections recently launched an online Voter Registration Application Tool.  The Tool (found here), is designed to allow a real-time application or to update your existing registration. 

There is also a mobile version available, which you can access on your smartphone/tablet.
